Hoist operators for your site
Local 542 trained operators for outside construction hoists and inside personnel and material elevators. You supply the hoist and we supply the operator.
Your hoist sets the pace of the site
Every delivery, every material move and every personnel lift runs through the hoist. When the operator falls behind, so does every trade waiting on the car.
Our operators are trained in the field by Jimmy Harris, who has run hoists with IUOE Local 542 for 12 years and laid brick with BAC Local 1 for 20. They know what's riding on each load and how to keep several trades moving at once.

Procurement
MasonryHoist questions
If your question isn't here, call or text and you'll get a straight answer.
Do you supply the hoist?
No. We supply trained operators only and you supply the hoist. If you need help finding hoist parts, safety gear or materials, our procurement team can source them.
Do you operate inside and outside hoists?
Yes. Our operators run outside construction hoists along the structure and inside personnel and material elevators in the building core.
Are your operators union trained?
Yes. Every operator is trained to union standards under Jimmy Harris, who holds active IUOE Local 542 certification.
How fast can you place an operator?
In most cases within a few business days, depending on location and schedule. Call early to lock in your start date.
Can your operators handle busy, complex sites?
Yes. Our operators work high-rise and multi-family sites where several trades call for lifts at once, and they coordinate with your supers by radio, hand signals or whatever your site uses.
How much does a hoist operator cost?
Pricing depends on location, schedule, shift length and site requirements. You'll get a clear written rate with no hidden fees.
